Rookie of the Year

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons was named the NBA's Rookie of the Year after the former No. 1 overall pick helped the team break its five-year playoff drought.
Simmons beat out Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum.
Simmons who turns 22 next month was taken with the top pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, but a broken foot sidelined him for the 2016-17 Season.
The 6-foot-10 guard averaged 15.8 points, 8.2 assists, 8.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals over 81 games last season and averaged 16.3 points, 9.4 boards, 7.7 assists and 1.7 steals in the playoffs.
Simmons helped the 76ers advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they lost to the Celtics in a five-game series.
